Enlightened Orthodoxy

[Jean-Alphonse Turretin] was the author of an enlightened orthodoxy that attempted to square the Christian faith with the methodology of the Enlightenment. Although this enlightened orthodoxy rejected many of the distinctive elements of the Reformed faith, Turretin would never have countenanced the rejection of a core of essential Christian doctrines such as the Trinity and the Incarnation.
